Infill of the last stretch of the Canal Grande with rubble from Cittavecchia, Trieste 1934

Historic photo from 1934 in Trieste: the last stretch of the Canal Grande is being filled with rubble from Cittavecchia. Piles of stones and a worker with a shovel dominate the foreground, while passers-by watch from the canal edge. In the background, moored boats and the façades lining the quays. A pivotal moment that reshaped the city’s waterfront.
